Waterford Race 5

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $653

NANS STARLING (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 29.29 beating TYCOON JACOB. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Hard to go past. BALLYGUR POOKIE (6) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (29.32) in an A3 over 480m at this track. Can find the frame this time. COCO DELUXE (2) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (29.15), beaten 3 lengths. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. AIRMOUNT BETTY (4) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Last start finished last on July 24 over 480m at this track behind Fahee Champ beaten 21 lengths (30.47) in an A3. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
